o.k. here I am, relatively new to the forum, first post. I was working for a vehicle restoration company early last year when I got offered this KE36 for sale, at the time I was 16 and although I was interested garage space at home was lacking, I joined this forumn however in the hope that one day the car would become mine and I could get some ideas, so here I am, year and a half later, about to get my p plates when I get a phone call asking me if I am still interested or she was going to the wreckers, well I couldn't let that happen could I?? $200 + $70 for a tow home and the car was in my possesion! I will try to post regularly as I move on, however garage space is tiny and I am still at school (year 12... Eeek, so time is an issue. Rear Shot? Interior, Magna/Commodore Seats? Roof Racks

Hello guys! I bring you a 1974 KE20 2 door sedan all the way from Pakistan. My dad bought one of these (a four door) when I was in school but we had to sell it after a few years. Then my school buddy's dad also got one of these 2 door ones. Well at some point during that time I knew I had to get one of these. So here I was a few months back getting my daily ride checked by a mechanic and I saw this car standing a few garages away. I stopped and asked whose it was, and found out it belonged to a mechanic working there. I immediately asked if he wanted to sell, and he agreed if the the price would be right. So after bargaining for a little while we agreed upon Rs 180,000 ($1800). Here are a few pics of it when I handed it over to the bodyshop to work on the dings, dents and rust. Let me know what you think. Rust. You can see the ground through the passenger footwell!! 13 inch wheels

My car has been fitted with a ae92 SX dash and it is not working correctly the main issues being: - RPM not working - When RPM is connected to the car it will not let the car start and if you have the car running and plug the rpm wire in it will stall the car. - When rpm wire connected the rear demister light will come on. I cannot find a reason for this I'm guessing it would be a wrong wire connected or the earths are not all connected. The sx cluster has been fitted to my ae92 4afc It would also help if someone has a wiring diagram for the ae92 SE 4afc and one for a SX cluster also. Anyone shed some light on this please.

I'm on the hunt for some classic Corollas from the 70's, 80's and late 90's for an online commercial for Toyota Corolla. We would need your Corolla for 2 days of filming in Sydney in late November. The car will need to be driven by someone else whilst filming is taking place. Utmost care will be taken to ensure the vehicle is always looked after. The care must be in good order and registered. You will be paid for the usage of your car for 2 days. Let me know how much you would like to be paid and if you are interested I can let you know more details. Cheers Andrew 0437295643 -

Hey everyone I'm new to club and the whole ke corolla seen but ive just got a 1975 ke30 rolla with a 3k-h motor and i need help finding out whats wrong with the motor. The motor has a exhaust leak at the manifold, on idle it only runs on 3 cylinders (2nd from the front not firing) but when it's reving more it's firing on all 4. i have checked the spark and there is spark coming from the spark plugs but to me it doesnt look like much. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be ? Any help would be greatly appreciated

About time I put up a rides thread on my 1969 KE15 Toyota Corolla Sprinter, since its been 6 months since I bought it. The purchase came about as I had a hankering to own another classic besides the Celica, which I could put on club reg and use for the odd spot of hillclimbing, Sunday cruising etc, and be less precious about it - the Celica spends more time in the garage than it should because I am terrified someone will open their door on it in a carpark, or its raining, or the day ends in Y... etc etc. I spotted a KE15 on ebay that was a bit rough around the edges, but I figured in time with some love I could get it to fit the brief. I called the owner, and he quickly worked out who I was and that I was the silver RA23 owner. He said the blue Sprinter I was looking at was too rough for me, but he had another one (this one) that he thinks I would much prefer. He sent me some photos and he was right... I told the other half the budget for the fun car had just gone up, and promptly dashed over for a look. So I went and looked, and it was pretty. So I bought it, without a good look over I must confess, but it was too pretty not to have! That failure to give it a good look over has probably cost me a bit of money in hindsight, but I love the car so all is fair in love and car sales.... History as I know it.. bought from Tasmania 10+ years ago with plans to become a Group Nc racer, but fortunately for me that never happened. The Tasmanian owner had painted it red, from its original white, and it was a nice tidy job. Its been shed bound since that purchase 10 years ago, explaining why it still looks good. At some point it has been fitted with a stock 4K engine and 5 speed. The guy I bought it from fitted a weber 45 to it, which was clearly too big for a stock motor, so my mechanic Peter Robinson Automotive fitted a stock carby to get us up and running. I will eventually sell the 45, and try and get something more appropriate for the engine, probably a 38 or 40. It sat in Peter's workshop for a few months (like 3 months!) while I was away in Ballarat, and he gradually fixed up for me a number of deficiencies the car had. She had her public debut a week ago at TCCAV's Cars Coffee & Donuts and everyone seemed to like her very much. Photos (mostly taken by the previous owner) When I first got it home Then I found these through rollaclub Which will look even more ace when I get a better tyre size/profile on them This is her at Donuts Plans are to do some or all of the following: 1. Fit a smaller Weber 2. Fit some suspension that is more handling oriented 3. Fit semi slicks to the superlite rims as my "race rubber" 4. Maybe fit some period styled race bucket seats, and harnesses 5. Racing stripe and period style door numbers 6. Enjoy :)

Hello guys and girls, i have just had my very first car delivered to me, a Toyota corolla AE112 (Conquest) It has a pretty clean, straight body and engine. So I'm wanting to keep it as a daily for as long as possible. It's currently stock as a rock and looks as if my grandma drives it. I have a few things i would like to do to it in the near future. Which brings me to my question - I am after some wheels for it but have no idea what i need to know when buying rims. It has some crappy 14" roh rims at the moment, but I'm wanting something just a tad bigger (17" maybe) Its a 2000 toyota corolla conquest. Sorry for the newbie question and for probably being in the wrong place. Thanks in advance

Hi All, I drive a beautiful 1975 KE30 2door, running dedicated LPG on the stock motor with a 5speed K50 transmission. Car is a dream and a keeper, bought from a rolla club member Dale AKA doityourself on rollaclub. I have been driving the rolla for a few years now with no problems, runs beautifully and usually won't give me much starting trouble even on cold winter mornings, really reliable and well taken care of car. The praise should go to Dale (doityourself) for his beautiful work on the LPG conversion, custom exhaust and a lot more tlc. After a while the little engine can be a bit tedious and sometimes you itch for a little more excitement and oomf to match the cars personality, so on that note the time has come for a new heart... or engine, whatever you want to call it. The point of this thread really is to find the perfect Engine Conversion for me and my car. I want to make something beautiful, reliable,fairly economical, powerful, but not ridiculous. For the most part I am hoping to have JapaneseMotorsport (South Australia) handle the conversion and upgrades. I do want to one day do a project car at home by myself but this car isn't that project. This rolla is and will be my one and only daily for a long long time, I can't really see myself driving anything else. I want a professional, quality conversion and I don't trust my knowledge and skills enough to dive into an engine conversion at home. Money wise, for now lets just imagine its not an issue (of course it'll be an issue) I just really want intelligent, unique ideas, don't hold back! SO I want to make a final decision as I've been racking my brain looking and thinking about all the different engine swaps that have and haven't been done on the net. I want the overall best engine conversion for my 2door KE30 Corolla bringing these factors into thought: - Daily driver - Power, but will not be racing or drifting, just a little oomf and grunt - Sound and Looks - A big one, I DEFINITELY want to keep running dedicated LPG on the new engine I put in my rolla (don't have much info on how difficult that will be but any info would be appreciated!) - Decent-ish fuel economy - Preferably not turbo So thats about it, hopefully this sparks a good conversation over which is the overall BEST KE30 engine swap for a daily driver just looking for a better performance out of his favourite little car. Any unique conversions would be awesome, would love to do something that hasn't been done but not going to do something just because its different if its not the best choice overall. After all the reading I've done my mind at the moment sways towards a well built 20v 4age running LPG. Sorry for the long read and any dumb questions. Cheers! Joel

Hi all, today i noticed something odd. my right indicator light would half light up when i braked and that with the headlights on sometimes the indicator would stick or be unresponsive. I have so far figured it has to do with my steering column. it was also messing with the right hand brake light. Has anyone had this happen before? Does anyone know what it might be? How can I fix it? Conah.

Hi all, recently purchased the above vehicle and gave it a full major service including rebuilding the carby, and it ran fine for a week, but recently have gotten some gremlins. Firstly before I took it in for a service it would stall under acceleration after lagging and spluttering, and when I got it back it ran fine for about a week and has since started up again. It had trouble starting yesterday so I left it, came back in the arvo started it and let it idle awhile and all seemed normal. Then this morning started it let it warm up and then took off for work - got about halfway there and again the spluttering then dying engine and battery light coming on. Started it a few times, occaisionally would crank and crank but no power, other times it would start but as soon as I put my foot down it would hesitate and splutter again then die. I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this, can anyone offer advice?? Cheers!

Hey guys, Ive just brought a 1978 Ke 55 Coupe for $1600. I had one years ago and always wanted another one so this is my news project.

At the moment I'm focusing on the body. The parts I need are: front and rear bumper bars front and rear seats left and right wing mirrors. dash board Is it possible to take these parts from other KE models? Thanks

Here's a basic build thread of my T18 Corolla. Pretty basic build to start with, really it's just something to occupy my time. Started out as a paddock basher and had been attacked by the blokes grand kids with about 6 coats of rattle can race paint. I picked her up for $300 with no vision as to where i wanted her to end up. Still don't know now haha. I'll let the photos do most of the talking, with brief descriptions to go along. Hope you enjoy the thread!

Hi Rollaclubbers, Come down to Kebab Joint THURSDAY 8TH MAY on the corner of Springvale Road and Princes Hwy, Springvale at 6pm for a meet and greet/catchup. Opportunity to go for a cruise afterwards if time and weather permit. Kebabs and drinks are available for those inclined to like a Late Night Lamb Sandwich. Let’s see how many corolla’s we can get to rock up. Feel free to invite other old school /interesting Jap cars, or bring your other car if your project isn’t up and running yet. Please no antisocial or illegal behaviour. Negative po-po attention is not something we want to attract. See you then. -Dave 0422 328 332

Hello Everyone! I have owned my TE31 for a couple years now and I have embarked in a recent overhaul (Full suspension, interior and soon brakes) but one of the things I have been wanting to do is get the Twin S.U.s I have in my garage mounted. I currently have a 32/36 on my car which performs fine but I love the look of the S.U.s and I heard that the sound you get from them is pretty cool. However, I can't for the life of me find an intake manifold or anyone that has done it (perhaps for good reason?). Do any of you know if there is an intake manifold available to mount these to a 2TC? If not, are is there another way? Finally, is it a bad idea? I really appreciate any feedback! Thanks, Chase H

Hello! Just yesterday I had to pull off a 21 year old power steering pump that just died in my ’92 AE-92R Corolla Seca SX, 4A-GE, and to do so I had to take off the radiator, battery, air conditioning compressor, and dizzy.. we couldn’t jack up the whole motor which would’ve made the process easier so I had to do it the hard way unfortunately, so my question is how do I put the whole distributor back in, in the right place and get it all running normally? I hear it’s quite a job... I was told it’d be $700 to get the pump replaced by a mechanic because it’s such a big job, so with some help I did it myself. Anyone have some experience with this? Thanks very much!
